My People
M.C. LOGIC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rhyme with the best flow
High every time that they try to get low
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
Fight like Canelo
Rhyme with the best flow
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
Huyendo del pasado y huyendo del presente
Pero un soldado para toda mi gente
Aveces encerrado enfrentando mi mente
Todo sea por darles un camino diferente
Diferente al que siempre se ha seguido
Diferente al camino que ya está escrito
Donde ustedes tengan más, tengan cash tengan paz
Y donde pueden hacer de todo sin peligro
To' tenemo' oscuridad
Para eso no hay inmunidad
Pero la luz hay que buscar
Ayudar a la comunidad
Si se complica ¿Qué mas da?
Así es la vida de verdad
Y aunque tú te haya' caído
Te tiene' que levantar, por eso
Fight like Canelo
Rhyme with the best flow
High every time that they try to get low
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
Fight like Canelo
Rhyme with the best flow
High every time that they try to get low
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
You gotta keep going 'til the end
Remember there's too much that's still in play
If you feeling down like you drowned
Just remember that
You gotta stay alive when you're feeling damned
When it comes to homies better keep the OG's
For fake friends there's just no need
Also watch out for envy 'cause it cut's deep
Hides deep inside and comes out to
Try to cut down your shine
Criticize your rhymes
They all mad you rap
They just lie and cap
They don't write their raps
All their lines are crack
All their bars are whack
They all trash, that's facts
They just can't stand you do better than them
They can't stand you 'cause you're clever as well
Ignore all the crap, be the better one left
Cause Karma will come and get em' as well, so
Fight like Canelo
Rhyme with the best flow
High every time that they try to get low
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
Fight like Canelo
Rhyme with the best flow
High every time that they try to get low
Cowboy, un west boy
Riding the tempo
Fight 'til I die for my people, mi ghetto
